I have taken part in many conferences and large meetings hosted at the Knoxville Tennessee Hilton. They have a second floor meeting that is very accommodating. I would estimate that it can seat 500 people or more, it is carpeted, well lit, and the furniture and decor are exactly what you would expect from a Hilton. The facility was very well liked by everyone we asked. On the first floor of the Hilton they have a Starbucks coffee stand and an outdoor area perfect for sitting and networking during breaks. This was a busy spot mornings before the conferences. The second floor conference room is handicapped accessible via an elevator, otherwise there is a wide set of stairs leading to the second floor from the lobby. The restrooms were of adequate size and were well maintained and very clean for the duration of the conference. For days when the conference included a lunch, there is a second slightly smaller room where buffet style meals can be served. All of the staff was extremely helpful and were professionals at working a conference venue. The parking area for the venue is a connected parking garage making the trip from the garage to the hotel less than a 50 yard stroll. The Hilton is also easily found from interstates 40 and 75 which pass through Knoxville. I believe there are only 3 or 4 turns after exiting the interstate to entering the garage. I have been very pleased with my experiences with conferences at Knoxville Hilton, and will definitely recommend them to others.
